97 Points

Saturday, December 27, 2008 - Dinner at Cityzen, 82, 86, 89 and 90 first growth and LMHB (Cityzen, Washington DC): Initially green tobacco leaf dominant nose but excellent core fruit concentration. With some air, sweet black fruit, tobacco, blackberry jam and baked dark berries. This wine is very young and still displays some primary fruit character. Rene commented on how similar two wines are despite the 82 showing greater maturity. Both showed strong sweet tobacco component, ash and scorched earth. I first rated the wine 94pts but as the wine opened up, upgraded to 97 pts.
